I got this nifty little keyboard with a trackpoint. The problem is
scrolling, I can't do it. I believe the Xorg driver supports scrolling
when the middle mouse button is pressed, unfortunately I don't have
one.

Can it be configured so that a modifier (alt maybe) key will enable
scrolling with the trackpoint?


Press the left and right buttons together if "Emulate3Buttons" is
enabled in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Where in the file to I put it? Here is a copy of mine:
